Hello and welcome,

I hope you enjoy making your way through my collection of oil paintings.

I taught myself to paint in oils in the fashion of the old masters with the indirect multilayered approach that has great impact and depth.

As an oil painter artist, I have found my own way while continuing to follow the principles of the masters of old and always with the view of developing my skills with each piece I make.

Creating a beautiful painting is like going on a great adventure and each time excites me.

Please enjoy my art and reach out to me with any questions you may have or if you would like to purchase or to commission me for a painting.

“To buy a painting isn’t an everyday occurrence but a special event when one gifts themselves or a loved one with a beautiful picture of what the world means to them, something that would be treasured in a home for generations.”

Yours sincerely

Leslie Venola
